With the long-absence of an effective strategic national energy policy and in another weak attempt to put ineffective band-aids on our nation's energy "crisis" as being manufactured by the politicians and "promoted" by the 'drive-by' media in an election year, some are supporting the notion of another nationally imposed speed limit (some of the same ones that supported
tax-incentives to purchase gas-guzzling SUVs and pick-ups just several years ago!!!)
The suggestion that we need another ridiculous federally mandated
national speed limit is a notion that is being supported/considered by some on both sides of the aisle. (I can already hear the same all tired line again:
55 saves lives).
I will list US Senators and Congressmen and women who support another political stunt.
Please consider sending them a message that you won't support them if they continue to push this
ill-conceived agenda.
Message to the politicians and main-stream media: the US is
finally experiencing
globally competitive petrol prices (as our friends abroad have been for a very long time, indeed).
Learn to deal with it and
stop whining (and start drilling or come up with innovative fuel alternatives). I still see an exorbitant amount of gas-guzzling SUVs and AWD vehicles on the road (oftentimes
parked in the left-lane!)
Remember, IT'S AN ELECTION YEAR!
And,
make your voice heard (at the polls) and by taking our
National Speed Limit Poll
